CRIMINAL OOURr ATTACHES,
Rush 20 the "AvaIanche" with Mis-
statements CONCERNING AN Order
by Judge Du Hose.


body OF contradctlonist for every
thing published concerning unusual
affairs A. the Courthouse, and psitic-
ularly about the criminal department.
In Tuesdays APPEAL there appeared
an account OF Judge DuBose's order
against the noise emanating from the
boiler making establishment OF Shea
Il MCCARTHY. Yesterday the AUa.
lanshe published what 1t terms the
real facts OF the case, as elected from
attaches OF the Criminal Court and
from parties connected with the firm
OF Shea & MCCARTHY. The real facts
given are only two, the main one
being mo order was ever made by
the court for the noise 20 be stopped"
To quote from the original In the
APPEAL: Attorney General Peters
complained OF inability to hear
the replies Of the witnesses,
whereupon Judge DuBose sent a dep
uty sheriff to the works for the pur-
pose OF having the noise silenced. The
firm sent It's bookkeeper to the court
for instructions. and the substance OF
his reception was to the effect that
unless the disturbance ceased, meas.
rires would be taken TO enforce il,
much TO the discomfort Of the men
creating It," Where is there any mem
ton OF an order by the court In this
Will the Avalanche or the attaches OF
the Criminal Court, themselves, say
nothing Of this kind occurred2 win
Shea 4 Mccarthy say II Z as to the ORR
II th.n oN.x..xlat..l of s.asaa .aakt..a,
upon Attorney General Peters. The
writer was so informed by Deputy
Clerk James f. Hunter, and Of the
subsequent proceedings there Is no
question.
Qloting again from the AVd.
lGnche, at Is stated by several
gentlemen who were in the courtroom
at the time that the noise was 80 ter
rife that nothing could be heard at
all" AT the very tims the writer was
discussing the matter with Mr.. Hun
ter, Deputy Sheriff Dean Pope, who
serves the Circuit Court, remarked
that 1t did not trouble them. Strange
that q court even nearer the shop tina =
that OF the criminal should thus es-
cape. The direful effect OF the ham
mering must have been more upon the
delicate nerver OF the Criminal Court
attaches" than upon the aurcu ar
organs--but nothing could be heard
at all" .a..
Then the Avalanche quotes Shea
Mccarthy as saying. ave were sur
phsed to see such an article In the
APPEAL this morning, as we had un-
dsrstood that nothing was TO be said
about It, especially IS coming from
u.s." etc. It Is denied most emphati-
cally that any such understan ding
existed, at least 40 regards the first
part OF the statement When the writer
heard OF the affair, the first person
ssen about 1t was this very MCCARTHY,
or the person pointed out and &C.
knowledged as such. Upon making
his GRAND known, Mr.. Mccarthy
begged that nothing be said about it,
for, as he said, g. am afraid he refer.
REG to Judge DdBose] will get mad
and close uH up sure enough" The
reporter stated that this was not at all
probable, and asked him, among
other things, II he was threatened
with imprisonment. Here is his re-
ply: "I sent my bookkeeper up TO
see about II, and no told me on his re-
turn that the Judge eaId unless we
made less noise he could put ms in
Jail" He said nothing about the
court remsrking, "he hated to
interfere with our business,
ard asked II we couldn't make less
noise" Even the most intimate
friends OF Judge DuBose know this
conciliatory policy 10 not at all Charac-
teristic of him. Mr.. Mccarthy further
said that he was "afraid we'll be closed
up every day this weak" folio wing
1t with statement Of the amount OF
work on hand, the number OF men
employed and thsi che would 60 to
Jail before he would close" This was
not published by the APPEAL Tuesday,
nor anything as coming direct from
the firm, out OF respect to their re-
quest. The denial winds up by stat
ing that the business was not injured,
but only inconyenienced that the
men were kept on working, and that
they we're perfectly satisfied with the
state Of affairs. A contradiction and
falsehood on tina very face. II 1t wss
Inconvenience, why not injured
TO that ex.ent2 II the men
were kept on working, how
could il be Inconvenience ?
The original article said nothing
about the business being damaged,
unless the order was emf reed. When
the writer visited the place not door
of the establishment was closed,
according tc the advice OF their sttor-
ney, and yet Mt. Mccarthy says they
did.
Mel II, O. WsrrinnsT, attorney for
Shea 4 Mccarthy, was seen by the
APPEAL reporter ON Monday, and he
admitted having bsen consulted by
Shea 4 Nc Darthy as to an order is
sued by Judge DuBoee In regard to
the noise, and he said that he had ad-
vlsSd them 10 make lees noiSs. This
